weekend

Mike and I try to come up with fun activities for our Saturdays so we don't spend all of our time doing chores. This last Saturday we decided we needed to make our way to the Griffith observatory since we have been talking about (really Mike has been) for a year and a half now. Something has always sounded like a better option until last Saturday. I am glad we finally made the trip! It was a really cool building with all kinds of learning stuff inside. We were happy to have Chris, Sarah and Izzie make the trip as well. 

We took an out of the way detour to Kiss My Bunt to get mini bunt cakes. I will say that they were tasty and delicious (mikes two favorite descriptives), but I was sorely disappointed with the store. I think they have all the potential in the world to compete with a place like Sprinkles, but they have completely missed the mark. The store was clean (per-say), but it looked like it had been cleaned by high school kids who didn't really care. All of the displays were old and unfinished. The best word I can think of to describe it is haphazard, kind of like their website. I would go again if I were in the area, but I would not go out of my way again like I would for sprinkles.  (moving on)

It was a fun Saturday afternoon and Zoey had a good time checking out a new place. 

awesomeness

My friend Jill sent this link to me today and it is awesome. She said some dad made it for his daughter to help her learn the alphabet, and he used the daughters voice for the robot. It is really cute. 

crafts

Sarah and I made these today. Sarah found a bunch of great colors of felt and invited me over for a craft day.

zoey and i are enjoying this today....

holga

Mike got me a Holga camera for mothers day and we finally developed some film. This is my favorite one. I am excited to keep using it!

Zoey is starting to show some personality and it is so funny to watch. She is so much fun to have around!

Dodger night!

Last night we took Zoey to her first baseball game and she had a great time! We sat in the all you can eat section were we could eat hot dogs, nachos and popcorn to our hearts content. And we did!  Here is a fun video of Zoey and Mikey at the game.

Visiting Baby Madeline

Last weekend we got to go to Madeline's baby blessing and stay with Dan and Elise. We even got to see Megan and Joseph before they left for their new home in Philadelphia. We had a fun weekend relaxing and spending more time with some of our favorite people. Madeline is really cute and we hope Zoey will be able to spend a lot more time with her in the future. 

Hollywood

My Sisters, Kim and Lacee, along with Kim's 4 kids came into town for a fun weekend visit. We spent some time at the beach and decided to make a Hollywood trip as well. We stopped by Pinks Hot dogs because Tatum saw it on the food network and couldn't wait to try it. It was delicious! And we didn't even have to wait very long even though the line looked long. 

Next we made our way over to the wax museum and it turned out to be hilarious! The figures are barely recognizable. Here are a few for you to enjoy. 

By the way, these are Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Darth Vadar with Zoey 

Then we went to the Guinness world records museum which seemed to be a little out dated. 

We also bought a map to drive around and see stars homes. That was pretty awesome. When do you ever have a good enough excuse to do that? My nieces wanted to see the Jonas brothers house so we had fun driving around the Hollywood hills looking at famous peoples driveways and walls. Lucky for the girls, the Jonas brothers house was just a normal house out in the open. I was a little embarrassed sitting in the passenger seat of a  mini-van with a stars map spread out, but it was a lot of fun. I can now say I have done the star tour!
